How's it goin"
I have a 2001 Suburban 1500, 2 years ago I had the front and rear brakes replaced along with the rotors (it's 4 wheel disc's) after the pedal seemed soft I was told everything was fine and thats the way it is. Now I had the brakes inspected and the pads do not contact the inside of the rotors, only the outside. I thought the caliber bolted on from the inside along with the pistons being on the inside pad,
I've heard of this on the outside with calibers locking up but not the inside. Any info on this would help!

Hi Radar318,

Thank you for the donation.

Seems the caliper sliderbolts are not moving freely. Get those checked for seizure.
